Transcript

The Kraft food company presents Harold Perry as The Great Gilder's League. Uhhh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. For everybody who loves mellow, melt in the mouth cheddar cheese, we have a piece of great news.

It's about Kraft's natural cheddar called K-brand. K-brand is for folks who really get a thrill out of superb quality cheddar cheese. Remember the name, K-brand Natural Cheddar. And listen for more about this masterpiece in cheese making a little later on in the program.

Uh, Ench. Yes, my boy. Santa Claus better get off the diamond, get that model airplane before they're all gone. Leroy! Well, that's all you want. I've got to finish addressing my Christmas time. I'm going shopping tomorrow, but I make out a list.
